Ship question

[Commilito]

Hi Jona,

thank You for the friendly informations. Obviously and for the heaven's sake I was totally mislead and in error. But indeed I could not really imagine that our beloved Romans could have been so cruel :wink: :lol:

Well, as I recall, in Roman and Greek cultures, death aboard a ship was considered a terrible omen, and the body would be dumped overboard as soon as possible. So images showing people being tossed off could refer to that.

EDIT: I guess I didn't see that the question had already been answered. Oh well.
